Marriage statistic

Malaysia marriage statistic show that 2.5 million citizen above 25 years old are not married. Of this, 60.4% are male and the remaining 39.6% are female. The main reason cited by the male is financial problem follow by inability to find partners, career, and family commitment while the female cited that the reason for late marriage or stay single is inability to find partners.

Well looking at this statistic I was not in anyway shock as it was a real reflection in Malaysia. Lets start with what went wrong with this statistic before we move forward to the reason of so many singleman in Malaysia.

Firstly the statistic look at male and female at the age of 25 which is very common that most guy at this age is still single or merely just attached especially Chinese. Compare to female, the age of marriage is lower compare to male thus the percentage will be lower than the male.

Now lets us look at the reason why so many singleman in Malaysia.

1. Female are nowaday demanding for same status as man and no doubt in Malaysia many female are now contributing in the work force and even at a very high stage of corporate ladder. This would mean they are also rich. Look at the reason why most female stay single..."cannot find partner"......well rich female scared the male away....need I say more? sorry no offence to the guys nor am I against successful woman....

2. Male say financial problem.....Reason being economic in our country is not that good. salary not that high...saving not enough to buy a house, how else to build a proper HOME? Plus, gals nowadays are more demanding. Forget about 5C....now people ask for 7B...Bungalow, BMW, Billionaire, Boss, Bank, Brain and Body....Gosh, how would guys able to have all these and if they did, most likely they have already been taken by others.

3. Male find building a family as troublesome as they always stuck in between parent and wife/gf. Imagine if your wife quarrel with your mom? Who will you side? Common question, if your gf and your mom drop into the sea who you save first....God, please help me...This is the most hated question of all time. Whatever answer given by the guys, it will be wrong.

Answer 1 :I save my mom because she give me life and you (gf) can swim well
Disaster 1: I hate you!!!!Why didn't u save me first. You care for your mom more than me!!!

Answer 2: I will save you first...because I love you...
Disaster 2:I love you too....But how can you be so unfaithful to your mom!!! (sweet first then bitter scenario)

Answer 3: I save myself because I also cant swim well
Disaster 3: You are useless....I hate you!!!!

So guys, when you get this question, pandai pandai la...answer nicely la ya...

4. LGBT Trend is hitting the world.....Look at the figure of single above 25 years old, it indicate that almost 10% of Malaysian are single...well, not all are straight....Some might be married but just 'illegally'.....No offence but I think LGBT group in Malaysia is not small either...Well maybe government should consider allowing LBGT marriage...then the statistic figure will drop significantly...Just imagine 2 male together or 2 female together....that is just double the impact....Is gaga era..."Born this way".....stop the non sense of discriminating or consider LBGT as a crime!!!

5. One man married 4 gals....the issue of polygamy...Dah lah banyak bujang, yang berpunya nak lebih banyak wife....How the share going to be equal. No offence to those with polygamy. If you rich enough and can give happiness to the 4 wife, go ahead.....But when the single male bertambah year by year, dont scratch your head asking why? The pie is just not enough to be share....Simple as that...

6. Youngster nowadays are so spoilt by freedom that they feel marriage is a burden. Some couple stay for years without marriage....In some country having baby before marriage is allowed. But being an Asian, a baby popped out before marriage is a big NO NO...is a TABOO....is a SIN....gosh, are we still in 60's? Even me as Gen Y feel so old now...is Gen Z generation now!!!

7. With new technology, finding couple is so easy. With a touch on PC or even phone, you can now scan who is the gal/guy beside you. Correct or not? But why all still single? because people nowadays talk to Siri more than the gf/bf....The hand stuck to the phone rather than walking hand with hand with the love one....You don;t believe? Well, if you are Iphone 4S user, I can guarantee you ask Siri to married you before....Just to try to see their response...Have you ever ask any gals the same question before? Gosh, probably now your first wedding proposal is to Siri and not your partners.

7 reasons is enough to know why people stay single. But somehow I feel that everyone should not be panic to see those result. Frankly it does not mean anything major. Focus more on the case of abortion, case of divorce....Those number are increasing year by year....and sometime looking at that, it would be so much better to know that most people are still single because at least they will not be part of divorce case or abortion case statistic...

Now there is a saying the formula for happy family to be follow by man:
1 Wife
2 Child
3 bedroom house
4 wheel transport
5 figure salary.....
No offence but I believe in certain extend we in Malaysia have this instead
5 Children
4 Wife
3 figure salary
2 wheel transport
1 storey link house...

bravo and Malaysia boleh because we still can survive...

By the way, just want to inform you that I am also one out of the 2.5million single citizen above 25 years old that is single...Welcome to the Single club!!!!

Build HOME.....not house

Ok,I know it have been months since my last posting... and I am already on the move of deleting my blog away...but on the way home today, out of sudden I realise I needed this blog.... I will turn this blog around soon.....Will set up one travel blog that will feature all the trip I been and will revive back my food blog soon. This blog will turn around to discuss more on opinion, social, politic and one things that close to my heart which is the agenda of social responsible eitherby corporate or public at large. Today posting is really interesting...Is all about House....or easily mistaken as HOME... House is an essential item in life. Is a place where a roof protect us and provide comfort. Home is being in a house serounded with love under a roof that protect us and a place you find comfort and create bounding amount family and friends. OK....enough of the non harvard oxford cambridge english defination above....my point now is house nowadays are so expensive. How could one easily build a house? Everyone that know me well, will know that I have been in property industry for the past 3 years and I had yet to see any full stop yet. I remember i tell my boss during the interview that I love those house model....I love the fact house provide shelther from rain and shine....but most important working with property developer is like helping hundred if not thousand of family building their home. I once talk to a friend whose father is owner of a smaller size property developer somewhere a bit ulu....but he told something that shock me, and probably the reason that drive me into property development company. He told me...."He build HOME....not house" House in Malaysia is rather cheap compare to Hong Kong and Singapore. I have to say that many investor either from oversea or richer local will own more than 2 house as part of investment. It is true that the house is cheap, but it is also true most people can't purchase any house now. If you got the chance to come across the owner of most property at the newly launch property, you will get shock to see the same person name appear not once, not twice but lot of time. This prove Malaysia house have already been use as tool for speculation or investment. Back in 2006, a normal 22x80 link house can be purchase at the price of 200k and maybe below....But now, not just that the location is a bit ULU, the house size strink to 20x70 but the price tripled to 600k and above. Mind you I am refering to Klang (which is not part of Klang Valley) or Shah Alam.... The latest survey from iProperty show that Malaysian have the highest number of owner that owned 4 house and above compare to Singapore, Hong Kong and Indonesia. Frankly this never surprise me. To me owner of 4 houses is consider small because I got to see an owner purchasing 10 units of house in just a launches. What more suprisingly is some house agent swipe few units for investment and not forgetting the ever growing property investment company that buy house and sold it on second hand market. So...by end of the day, we might not be buying first hand house, but in reality house that had already been traded in few hands even prior to the hand over of the house. I kinda pity those poorer or lower income citizen as the rising price of essential item would have hit them badly. Essential item like rice, flour and sugar is increasing but what is a proper family if they can't even have a proper shetler. Working in this industry I could only agree that the richer get richer while the poorer remain status quo or even worst, depleting......Low cost house is not a solution and will never be a solution. Please, someone go and flip through the purchaser of low cost house in Malaysia.....Have the authority make enough checking or screening on those buyer? Why is people earning big buck buying a low cost , medium cost or even P1RMA house??? Gosh...why am I talking about house when my main point is HOME..... Look, what is a HOME without a house. I know those who can't own a house, would rent a house. But in reality who want to rent if they can buy. Again on another side, those who own more than one house would prefer their house to be rent out at higher price so they can earn money.So at the end of the day, is again those without houses that will be in losing point. SO think again....Is there any developer now that really helping family to built their dream HOME......or they just built home?.....to me, they neither do both of them, they just sell House.... Remember, is home that you can't buy.... So let rest the case, and we will see, are Malaysia slowly pushing the citizen to stay HDB flat and those richer will owned more and more property.....
